With RFA 4 main card set, Efrain Escudero vs. Tyson Griffin named new main event

The main card is set for Resurrection Fighting Alliance’s first nationally televised event.

RFA 4 takes place Nov. 2 at Texas Station Gambling Hall & Hotel in Las Vegas, and the main card airs on AXS TV.

With an injury to headliner Gilbert Yvel, lightweights and former UFC fighters Tyson Griffin (15-6) and Efrain Escudero (18-5) now fight in the new main event.

As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported this past week, would-be headliner Yvel (38-16-1) scratched from the card for undisclosed reasons. His original opponent, Marcio “Pe de Pano” Cruz (7-3), now will fight replacement light heavyweight Joe Yager (5-0). Their fight has third billing on the card.

In the co-headliner, fast-rising striker Chidi Njokuani (8-3), the brother of UFC/WEC veteran Anthony Njokuani, looks to continue his 6-1 run when he meets surging welterweight Phil Dace (8-2), who’s won five straight.
